Thousands of people took to the streets of cities across France on May 1 to commemorate International Workers' Day and protest against the controversial pension law passed last month. The protests were particularly significant in the wake of the new law, which has been widely criticized for its potential impact on workers' retirement benefits.

The protests were organized by major labor groups, who called for a nationwide strike and encouraged workers to join the demonstrations. In Lyon, one of the largest cities in France, the protests took place in Place Jean Macé and were captured in a video clip by @Sergi_Azerty.

The clip shows masses of people, carrying signs and chanting slogans, as they march through the streets. The atmosphere is one of unity and determination, as workers from different sectors come together to demand fair treatment and protection of their retirement benefits.

The controversial pension law, passed in April, has been a major source of concern for workers across France. The law raises the retirement age, reduces pension benefits, and increases the length of time workers must contribute to the pension system before becoming eligible for benefits. The changes have been met with widespread resistance, with many workers arguing that the law unfairly targets the most vulnerable members of society.
